Bought this a few weeks ago after only seeing 3 pictures
It looked not bad in the pictures till it arrived here from peterbough on transporter and i thought did it fall off on the way up the road. Ive been looking for one for a long time and it was very cheap. I built a wee cabby for my wife about 4yrs ago and loved it.
anyway back to my new build im not sure what the plans are yet apart from getting it stripped and on the jig to start with a few tons of pulling power then start sourcing some parts.
Anyone wanting rid of parts give me a pm cash waiting even better if your local. More updates soon

Good luck with the project bud. I've got a Cabriolet shell ready to go if this was of interest. However, I'm at the other end of the world from you!!

Brave work! Have you got the pic of the floor plan with the dimensions on between mounting points for reference?
